Maria,

Have you considered hosting your own event in the area...maybe at the library...sometimes that's free if the seminar is free...anyway...you could invite all the chamber members in a certain radius...and then you could sell in the back of the room...

I took the Kathleen Gage and Lori Givonni teleclass last week...and that is similar to something they talked about...

You could do a press release to local media...might get some publicity that way...might barter some services with local radio to get some advertising...possibly get a corporate sponsor...that would be nice if you have to pay for a location...some place like a business supply company...either local or chain like staples or office depot...banks and other businesses are usually glad to contribute goodies for goodie bags...oh...and banks usually have meeting rooms...maybe you could 'partner' with a local bank...they'd provide the meeting room...and help promote you as a benefit to the community businesses...and their customers...

Hope that helps...
